Maralrez Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I bought a Siberian husky from a trusted breeder that I bought my 2 other huskies from. My new babyish name is duke. He is 5 weeks old and his ears have not gone up! Should I be worried? What's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 at 5 weeks old he should still be with his mother - but yeh his ears will go up soon - try not to worry and dont play with them as the cartaledge wont harden n they will stay floppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maralrez Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 He is still with his mother. I get updated pictures every week. I'm just worried about his ears not coming up. He is the husky in my avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Melsom Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 like Nix said they should pop up and dont play with them. Most of the time when they are floppy its becasue their ears are too big give it time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibemum Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I bought a Siberian husky from a trusted breeder that I bought my 2 other huskies from. My new babyish name is duke. He is 5 weeks old and his ears have not gone up! Should I be worried? What's going on? At that age the ears will be floppy. I especially noted mine would drop even after 8 weeks if they had a spurt of teeth coming though. They are all absolutley fine ears pointing to the sky...

snookie308 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 i thought the same thing we never touched our littlest ones ears but at 10 weeks old one finally stayed up and the other didnt go up til about 14 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanIslandSibe Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Realistically the breeder should be able to tell you about that, but from what I've heard it is pretty common for puppies to have floppy ears early in their lives. Especially when their teeth are coming in because the calcium is diverted from the ears to the teeth. My husky however never had floppy ears so I cant say from personal experience. I have pictures of him from 5 weeks and up and his ears are pointy. But I remember when I took him home at 7-8 weeks that the breeder said one of his ears wasnt as rigid as the other and it was because of calcium distribution and it would eventually become more rigid.

Tams Teeko and Keeta Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ooooh cute. Teeks ears didnt go up till about 7 or 8 weeks. And for a little while he had one ear up and one ear down! It was very sweet! Congrats on your new pup! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britt-11-Searis Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have a puppy that's mostly husky but he's part wolf as well solid white with a touch of cream color, he's anywhere from 2-3 months old, ears are still flopp but so cute!!!!! Ill be taking him to the vet soon for all of his shots and figure out his age and wolf percentage. He is a ball of fur and pure addorable energy. Hopfully his ears will pop up soon.

VanIslandSibe Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I personally love when they have floppy ears. I would cherish it while it lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britt-11-Searis Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Oh I do! There so soft and gives him personality. I think his fluffy coat is addorable too, he's the puppy on my profile picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
